Survey of RequirementsAn abstract was accordingly prepared. Fig. 3 is a view of the Westinghouse Reversing Mill Motor, which wes designed and built especially for this installa-tion. To one watching it in operation, it causes an almost uncanny feeling. Its silent and almost instant reversalfrom full speed in one direction to full speed in the opposite direction, giving no indication of the tremendous powerbeing developed. This motor derives its power from a Motor Generator Set, which is shown in Fig. 4. To enable it tocarry peak loads it is provided with a solid steel plate fly wheel. This form of construction is necessary in orderto withstand the terrific stresses produced by reason of its high speed revolution—the rim of this fly wheel travelling more than four miles per minute. teristics, the design of this unusual plantwas undertaken by the companys ownmen, carefully adhering to basic prin-ciples.
